Deck Building Cost Guide

Deck costs depend on the size, height, timber or composite choice, site access and how the deck connects to the house. A sketch and site photos make quotes much more comparable.

What can affect the quote

  • Ground preparation, pile depth, stairs and balustrades can change construction time.
  • Demolition, difficult access and drainage details can add to the wider project.

Useful questions to ask

  • What is included for foundations, framing, decking and finishing?
  • Are design, engineering or consent considerations identified for this particular deck?
